SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (KTLA) — Police on Saturday shot a killed a man who was armed with a handgun and driving a tractor after he allegedly shot and killed his mother, authorities said.

Officers responded to a house in the 1100 block of Mellow Lane after receiving a call from a man who reported that his brother, 29-year-old Ryan Carnan, had called him and said he had shot their mother at her home, according to a statement from the Simi Valley Police Department.

The house was on fire when the officers arrived, police said. Ventura County firefighters responded to the scene and extinguished the blaze.

A man driving a tractor was shot and killed by police after allegedly killing his mother.

Authorities entered the burned-out house and found the body of a woman who was later identified as Carnan’s mother, police Commander Stephanie Shannon said.

While officers were at the crime scene on Mellow Lane, 911 dispatchers began receiving calls from residents in the nearby neighborhood of Bridal Path, police said.

The callers said a man was driving a tractor through the neighborhood and shooting a gun.

“He comes by and I said, ‘Are you shooting up there?’ Then he looks at me with the gun. He has the gun,” witness Norm Treveva later told KTLA. “I said: ‘Oh. You are shooting up there.’ He just stared at me with this really weird-looking look on his face. Then he just drove by.”

Members of the police department’s SWAT team were summoned to the area.

Another day another kid snaps or kills for fun. Our youth is very disturbed. The problem seems too huge to solve as well. Education seems like a good option but the kids don't listen anymore, it's all about them now. What a mess we have.

He's a mellennial, a kid too me. Lazy, violent, and apparently "entitled''. Regardless of generation, parents should put more quality time into their kids, and the kids
(at whatever age) should respect their parents. Seems too much to ask for these days.
